What's the big deal?

Why should foreigners get special treatment in Japan? If you're going to live in Japan, you should learn the language.

Besides, there are many foreigners, I assume, in Japan who don't speak English either, so why should the Japanese sweat over what language they should speak to foreigners?
From the tone of your post, it seems that you are disagreeing with the purpose of this thread. However it is exactly how I and many of the people who voted at the poll, see it.
